Lets Wait for GOI Response First: Soz

SRINAGAR: Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz today said everybody should wait for Government of Indias response to the resolution adopted by the Legislative Assembly and the Chief Minister Omar Abdullahs letter seeking probe into former army chief V K Singhs remarks against political mainstream of Jammu and Kashmir.

Talking to KNS, Soz said that since the former army chief was working under Government of India, both the resolution and Omars letter have been addressed to the union government. I think everybody should wait for the government of Indias response as the resolution adopted by the House and Chief Ministers letter have sought one and the same thing that is a credible probe, the PCC chief said.

On September 25, Omar had shot a letter to Dr Manmohan Sigh seeking a thorough inquiry into the allegations leveled by former army chief V K Singh against Jammu and Kashmir ministers.

Pertinently, National Conference has moved a privilege motion against V K Singh seeking his personal appearance to face the House. The speaker of the Legislative Assembly Mubarak Gul when contacted was not available for the comment over the issue.

Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) chairman Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen when contacted by KNS alleged that the Government is not serious in resolving former army chiefs issue. The statements are creating doubts in the minds of people. Former army chiefs remarks have dented the democratic institutions of the state and the issue deserves a thorough consideration.

However, the Agriculture minister Ghulam Hassan Mir when contacted refused to comment on the issue. Already much has been said and heard, I will not comment further.
